Summary
Jinu can’t leave without Gwi-Ma’s permission, but sometimes he stands under the open and roiling sky and watches the barrier cascade in musical waves overhead, thousands of glimmering blue filaments that undulate with deceptive delicacy, offering, if even for a second, a glimpse of an overworld that rouses itself to song. It is not lost on Jinu that he serves a warped inverse of that purpose down here.
But demons don’t flock to his music. They shy away from it, wilting rather than blooming, because on a very literal level they understand that his voice isn’t for them. Gwi-Ma is a jealous god, and he cannot abide it if the rewards that his gifts reap don’t return to him, always, in the end.
Or: In which Jinu makes choices (a real mixed bag of them), trips into a situationship, regrets everything, lies to himself and others, and decides he wants to be a better person after all, actually—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Bates inclines his head. “If you don’t mind waiting for about an hour?”
“Oh, no, not at all.” The stranger's smile turns just this side of smug, and the twist to his lips is suddenly so overwhelmingly familiar Bates feels close to having a déjà vu.
“Well, then-” He turns around, away from that smile and the sudden urge to go down to the wine cellar and see if there are any bottles missing – he’s imagining it, right? It couldn’t be. But it’s enough to make him ask: “After you, Mr. …?”
“Barrow.”
Well, bloody hell.
Or: The one in which Thomas' father decides a visit to Downton is in order, now that his son has been made butler.

Summary
"Do you remember when we first met, Barrow?", Robert asks him. He can't expect him to remember after all these years, and surprises himself as well.
Thomas looks towards the pitch with a small smile.
"Not too far from here, Your Lordship."AU where Robert had first met Thomas years before the latter came to work as a junior footman. A little indulgence fic, that's all.
